Googling {debian site:hp.com} says there are about 23,100 results.
Debian has been a good OS for servers for more than a decade. Generally
if some hardware vendor makes any drivers available, someone will
package them for Debian.

The point is, Catalyst isn't a distro war. Choose whatever distro best
suits your other needs, and then just make sure your installation has a
working Perl, either by installing the vendor Perl, or by building your
own. Just remember that if you have RHEL the first of those options
isn't.
